Think about cooking your roast to the correct temperature rather than getting caught up with how much time it spends in the oven. Some general guidelines for roasting times are: at 425 degrees F, a 2- to 3-lb. whole filet mignon will be done in 35 to 40 minutes and a 4- to 6-lb. cut will take 45 to 60 minutes. Use temperature as your precise guide for doneness and remove the roast from the oven when it is 5 degrees below the final temperature.
1 Place a heavy cast iron skillet or a broiling pan in the oven and allow it to heat. 2  Rub the filet mignon generously with extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle the meat with freshly ground black pepper. 3  Remove the hot pan carefully from the oven.4  Place the meat carefully in the pan. Turn the filet mignon once about halfway through the cooking time. 2  Remove the filet mignon from the oven and place it on a carving board. 3  Cover the meat loosely with aluminum foil, then allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. 4  Carve the meat, and then transfer it to a warm serving platter.
